A Note to Parents

 

Dear Parents,

We at Japanese Karate Academy want to make your child's involvement in the Martial Arts a positive and productive one. As always, we encourage your involvement in your child's endeavors. From time to time we will inform you of your child's progress as we physically strengthen and mentally challenge him/her.

As students move into your intermediate and advanced training programs, we begin to place more emphasis on the mental aspects of character, self-esteem, self-control, and concentration; along with the ongoing development of the physical aspects of strength, balance, leverage, timing and advancement of other Martial Arts skills. As challenges increase and rank promotions begin to require more work, it is not uncommon for young students to become temporarily discouraged. It is up to you as parents and we instructors, to make the difference between a child who meets and overcomes challenges and one who merely gives up. Your encouragement of your child's efforts takes on a new significance at this time.

Young people need to have realistic goals that have a positive meaning to them. They also need our support and motivation to achieve established attainable goals. With your help, we at Japanese Karate Academy can maximize the benefits of your child's Martial Arts training. We are here to help your child, so please feel free to make a consultation appointment at your convenience. Additionally, if you have a question concerning your child's progress, please call or speak in person to Sensei or Sempai.

The instructors and staff at Japanese Karate Academy are proud of our commitment to today's youth. Together we can make a difference in tomorrow's adults.

WELCOME! It is great to have you with us! We are sure that our future together will be OUTSTANDING!!!!

Sincerely,

Japanese Karate Academy
